INTRODUCTION 

During  the  school  year  the  Public  Library  of  the  District 
of  Columbia  furnishes  many  books  thru  the  schools  to  the 
children  of  the  city.  This  work  is  made  necessary  by  the 
lack  of  library  branches  thruout  the  city  and  it  is  made  pos- 
sible thru  the  courtesy  of  the  school  officials  and  the  splen- 
did help  of  the  teachers  who  generously  add  this  distribu- 
tion to  their  other  work.  The  teacher's  recommendation  of 
books  meets  with  ready  response  from  the  children.  There- 
fore this  sending  small  libraries  to  the  class  room  greatly 
aids  the  library  in  its  effort  to  reach  the  right  child  with 
the  right  book  at  the  right  time.  It  is  of  vital  importance 
that  the  child  shall  be  so  reached  since  we  are  thus  doing  not 
only  constructive  work  by  adding  to  his  store  of  knowledge 
and  improving  his  taste  but  we  are  also  doing  preventive 
work  in  stemming  the  tide  of  mediocre  and  sometimes 
vicious  books  which  are  available  to  children.  Nothing  is 
more  sure  than  that  the  average  child  will  read  something. 
What  he  reads  is  very  often  left  entirely  to  the  schools  and 
the  library.  Together  these  two  can  accomplish  a  great 
piece  of  worth  while  work  which  neither  can  do  as  satis- 
factorily alone.  Any  teacher  from  the  third  to  the  eighth 
grade  may  select  or  request  the  library  to  select  one  book 
for  each  child  in  her  class.  These  books  will  be  sent  to  her 
and  called  for  at  the  end  of  two  months.  For  the  conven- 
ience of  the  teachers  and  to  advise  them  of  the  material  to 
be  had  for  supplementary  work  and  for  pleasurable  reading 
this  graded  and  annotated  catalog  of  books  has  been  pre- 
pared. It  has  been  arranged  by  subject  that  the  material 
on  the  work  being  covered  may  be  readily  found.  Many  of 
the  books  listed  in  a  certain  grade  will  be  found  useful  in 
a  lower  or  higher  grade ;  the  grading,  which  in  some  cases 
is  made  to  conform  to  the  course  of  study,  is  only  sugges- 
tive. Grateful  acknowledgment  is  made  to  the  Carnegie 
Library  of  Pittsburgh  and  to  the  A.  L.  A.  Publishing  Board 
for  permission  to  use  many  of  their  annotations.

Have  you  ever  rightly  considered  what  the  mere  ability 
to  read  means?  That  it  is  the  key  which  admits  us  to  the 
whole  world  of  thought  and  fancy  and  imagination,  to  the 
company  of  saint  and  sage,  of  the  wisest  and  the  wittiest 
at  their  wisest  and  wittiest  moment?  That  it  enables  us 
to  see  with  the  keenest  eyes,  hear  with  the  finest  ears,  and 
listen  to  the  sweetest  voices  of  all  time?  More  than  that, 
it  annihilates  time  and  space  for  us.
